Vicente Lopez '22 Recruiting Profile

Since I was very little, soccer has been my passion. The fact of having a Spanish father, had a big effect on my interest in soccer. I have been following soccer for as long as I can remember and have always dreamed about playing in a mayor league and becoming a professional soccer player.

In this regard, I started  practicing and training when I was 6 years old, first in a recreational team, and shortly after, playing for Real Miami (formerly Real Madrid academy) in Miami, FL. During all my years in this academy, I have been improving my skills, technique, speed and strength, and with the help of my teammates, we were able to reach number 3 in Florida.

Aside from this competitive scenario, on my free time I have attended several Soccer clinics, to further improve my skills and knowledge. Also, last summer (Aug-17), I was invited to participate during one week at Bayern Munich training sessions and games in Munich, Germany. This was an incredible experience and opportunity to see with my own eyes what professional training is all about.

I am looking forward to continuing and expanding my soccer career in a competitive university where I can also continue with my Education progress, that it is imperative to become a successful person. Soccer discipline has, is and will help me achieve my career goals.
